Wegman, Jesse "Is the Electoral College a problem?' 7 October 2020 https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000007319217/electoral-college-abolish-eliminate.html?action=click>ype=vhs&version=vhs-heading&module=vhs®ion=title-area&cview=true&t=444
I think that that because the electoral college has elected a president who did not win the popular vote twice in the past 20 years, the system is broken. Even though it was only two out of five rounds, that still is a lot and something needs to change in order for it to be zero out of five.
I agree that the "winner takes all" system is undemocratic and unfair because even if a state wins by one vote, then the whole state will go to one president, which makes the ones that voted for the other president not count. Voting is supposed to be be about everyone getting a say in their country, and not being left out. The "winner takes all" system prevents that from happening.
